On a modern-day Earth where magic is rare and people with superhuman abilities are common a young woman tends to her remaining days before departing for a world steeped in magic. Merlynn had visited this world over the course of several years after constructing a wayportal with the help of dear friends, even finding love during their research. With each visit her power grew substantially until one day that power was noticed and feared. One fateful morning her love was taken from her slain before her eyes by a wicked man made entirely of water. Three years and twenty-seven days later, November twenty-seventh precisely, she counts down the hours till her planned departure. Three days time she would leave, in four she would meet that man once more. On the fifth day...She hadn't planned that far.
